SUMMARY:Queer Book Club: Hell Followed with Us

But you can always drop in an leave comments about the book whenever you have time those two days\, or reply to other people’s comments.\nhttps://discord.gg/2xswCwNmAe \nABOUT THE BOOK\nHell Followed with Us\nby Andrew Joseph White \nSixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him—the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world’s population. Desperately\, he searches for a place where the cult can’t get their hands on him\, or more importantly\, on the bioweapon they infected him with.But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction\, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center\, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC’s leader\, Nick\, is gorgeous\, autistic\, and a deadly shot\, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret: the cult’s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all.Still\, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens\, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong\, Benji accepts Nick’s terms…until he discovers the ALC’s mysterious leader has a hidden agenda\, and more than a few secrets of his own. Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and Annihilation. \nAccessibility info:\nParking and bathrooms nearby. No ramp access to shop. Small set of steps to entrance. Call ahead to see if bookclub will be outdoors or indoors. If outdoors\, noise may be loud / close to road.
